About the role

Would you like to be part of an ambitious Compliance team where you play a key role in ensuring Saxo meets its regulatory obligations across AML and financial crime prevention? Then we have the right opportunity for you in Saxo

Our Compliance department supports the management of compliance risks while supporting prudent business development and growth. We have several teams in Denmark as well as abroad, each of which has their own area of responsibility, but where close collaboration is key to achieving our common goals.

You will be a part of the Financial Crime & Group DPO team in Group Compliance. This team is part of the 2nd Line of Defence and is located in Saxo’s headquarters in Hellerup. We are responsible for assessing compliance risks related to financial crime, such as anti-money laundering, terrorist financing, bribery and corruption. We are supporting the business in its continued compliance with regulatory requirements, market practices as well as internal policies and procedures.

As a team, we balance professionalism with a sense of humour and have an informal atmosphere - we make it fun to go to work.

Responsibilities

You will join an organisation and a Compliance department, where financial crime prevention is a core focus, and you will help us in continuously drive this important matter.

• Perform compliance risk assessments
• Provide advice and compliance opinions to the business on managing compliance risks and regulatory requirements
• Conduct compliance monitoring activities
• Prepare compliance monitoring reports and contribute to regular compliance reporting to the senior management of the bank

Your profile

We are looking for a colleague who brings extensive AML knowledge and compliance experience, at least 10 years or even more preferably. It is important that you have prior and significant experience from 2nd line compliance functions in the financial sector or perhaps a Danish Ministry.

Profiles without substantial experience in these areas will unfortunately not meet the requirements for this role, as we need someone who can contribute from day one and help uphold our high compliance standards.

As part of your experience, you have worked within the areas of AML regulatory requirements, Financial Crime Prevention, risk management or similar, combined with a relevant educational background.

We expect for you to have in-depth understanding of anti-money laundering-, tax evasion-, sanctions-, adverse media-, and terrorist financing risks and AML requirements.

Moreover, we are looking for you who are detail-oriented and can work both independently while taking an active role in teamwork and enjoy collaborating with colleagues and stakeholders across the entire organisation.

It is a definite advantage if you thrive in an environment with constant changes and bring a positive and curios mindset to work and that you do not buy into the word ‘cannot’.

You must possess great stakeholder management skills and use your communication skills to ensure positive collaboration and progress in joined tasks, and we are looking for a colleague who always brings a positive attitude when liaising with the business.
